Titanium?

No titanium isn't a steel, titanium has a very good strength to weight ratio but its not as strong as high strength steel.

Probably the best all around high strength steel, if you count hardness, tensil strength, shear, and yield is englin steel number 5. It has a yield of about 245,000 psi an ultimate strength of around 293,000 psi a harness of 45.6 and an impact of about 75 joules. And its cheaper than exotic alloys, you can build aircraft with the stuff when weight isn't an issue ant it is plenty strong enough. Its also very strong even in high temp unlike titanium.
